62John Quincy Adams to Charles Adams, 29 December 1796 (Adams Papers)
It is a long time since I have had the pleasure to receive any letter from you. I suppose you spend so much time in dandling your offspring that you have none left to think of Collaterals. But what makes me most impatient is that you do not send us even the Newspapers until they are six months old. Here have arrived since the beginning of the Summer twenty or thirty vessels from New York...

I have to thank you for your favour of Dec r: 1 st: sent me a few days since by M r Van Rensselaar.

I have already written you respecting the private business upon which I was commissioned by your father, and I enclose a duplicate of that Letter, to meet the case of miscarriage, that may happen to the original.

Your favour of January 6 th: was received by our brother Thomas at the Hague, and by him forwarded a few days ago to me.
